My Fiancee and i stayed at this hotel on our way to Zimbabwe. I must admit, we were chuffed at how close this hotel was to the Airport! The location is perfect. The complimentary shuttle to and from the Airport was fantastic. The driver was very friendly and the hotel itself was lovely! Very clean and stylish. Comfortable beds in... More

We stayed at the Protea Hotel which undoubtedly for the price was very good, we could acutally see our Airbus 380 from our window :-) The food is reasonably priced, so one can relax in the hotel. A small minus is that they do not have any sauna or steam room. The airport shuttle is very convenient and the staff... More

Have stayed here on a number of occasions in the past and more recently 8 nights in the past 2 weeks. The service is getting better as time goes on. Rooms are spacious and clean. Witnessed management doing cleanliness checks in the kitchen area which is reassuring. Location is good for access to the airport - looks right onto the... More

Dear KLBTraveller, Firstly, we would like to sincerely apologise for the disappointment you encountered with the pumbing in the room. Your feedback is very valuable to us as it provides us with a true reflection of our service delivery and by no means echoes the high standard that The Protea Hotel OR Tambo Airport is usually proud to offer.

Perfect for early morning flights - the shuttle bus was easy to figure out, the rooms decor and layout was one of the best transit hotel rooms I have seen and it has a trendy bar. Internet was very slow or not working.

The main advantage of this hotel is proximity to the airport. I would only stay here if I had a short layover as hotel facilities are minimal. There is free wifi but there is a limit to the amount of data usage and only certain websites were accessible. The connection was also too slow to open attachments. Our room was... More

Initial experience was not good as it took three attempts to get me a room that was ready to receive guests (this with an 18:00 check-in). The duty manager was on hand and the problems were quickly resolved. Final allocated room was spacious and clean. This is a relatively new hotel so one expects that the environment/facilities would still be... More

close to the tambo airport, with transfer, PAY ATTENTION, transfer just until 11pm, and start at 6 am, so look close to your flight time, the breakfast is not inclued, but the airport is just the next door.
